. . . as an Austrian citizen, you can get a multi entry Tourist Visa only in the country where you have your registered residence. Or in the home country of your citizenship. You CANNOT get a multi entry Tourist Visa in ANY of Thailands neighbor countries. . . . . . . . . all you can get issued in Thailand's neighbor countries is a "Single Entry 60-days Tourist Visa". On most of the Thai embassies and consulates, you will need to make an appointment first. The only walk-in Thai embassy is the consulate in Savannakhet and Ho Chi Minh City

@Gary ********

are you sure the Ranong border to Myanmar is open? All the land border points up north to Myanmar have been closed again since July 1

don't bother. Wait until the DLT issues a new license. What happened to me was, when I got my Thai licenses renewed for 5 more years, the DLT put the old passport number into the new licenses although I had given them my new passport with another number. You can't be bothered and the don't give a rat's A. Mai Ben Rai!

@Paul ******

It is as it is - you can only apply for a multi entry Tourist Visa category in the home country of your citizenship. you could apply for in Cambodia if you hold a residence status in Cambodia. You mentioned you don't - which doesn't leave many options. You can but achieve up to 5 months stay 100% for sure, by entering with a 60 days single entry Tourist Visa, which you extend on Immigration for 1900.- THB for 30 more days. Then before 90 days are up you need to do a border run, this will give you a visa-exempt entry admitted 30 days, which you can also extend once, for 30 more days. This is already a months stay, and you could theoretically do a second border run giving you 30 days admitted stay, a last time. If you wish to be on the safe side, use "visa run companies" for these border runs, as they "grease the wheels"

@Josh ******

if you ever plan to apply for the 1-year extension, make sure you got your marriage approved in Thailand. At the immigration, you will need a freshly printed Thai rose bordered marriage certificate from the Amphur

@Josh ******

just make sure you leave every 90 days. With the multi entry Non-Imm-O family visa, you can get almost 15 months stay out of it

@Phil *****

you don't need the 400,000.- THB in the bank for the VISA application. However you will need the 400.000.- THB deposit for the application to the 1-year EXTENSION

in order to apply for the "change of visa type" to a 90-days Non-Imm-ED visa, you will need all the relevant paperwork from the school ready to show Immigration. There is no guarantee that Immigration will accept it . . Check the requirements here, Your situation is in number 3, just click on it

@Muz ********

5000.- THB is the standard price, and it goes without any tie-in deals like life-insurances or accident insurances, some banks want you to take up when you need a bank account with them. BEWARE!

@Mac *******

of course there are agents in Bangkok, for the bank account and drivers license service. However I do not know any addresses, you have to google for them
